Drie vrouwen en een draak 1703 - 1767

This etching, "Drie vrouwen en een draak" by Jacob Folkema, depicts three women and a dragon in a wooded landscape. The central figure, a woman in a long dress, appears to be addressing the dragon while the other women look on, with one of them standing close to the beast. Folkema, a Dutch artist active in the 18th century, is known for his engravings, which often featured allegorical or mythological subjects. This small-scale work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the intricate detail and fine lines typical of his artistic style.
